The 6'2"/200 senior out of Mission Bay has shown great development as a multi-year starter in the Buccaneers' 4-0 start to the season. He's a cool, calm, and collected pocket passer that can manage pressure and space and make plays off-schedule when needed. He can get the ball out quick, come off his first read, and delivers with accuracy into tight windows over the middle of the field. Arnold is one of the most underrated QBs on the San Diego recruiting scene and should see his interest level rise with his level of play this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_treyarnold_/status/1964804015298130345","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_treyarnold_/status/1964804015298130345 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598591"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ca32d20ae89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Piercy is San Diego's leading sack producer through four weeks with 7 in three games. The 6'2"/200 EDGE put his name on the 2026 CA watchlist with his <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/prz-ca-showcase-top-performers-defensive-line-2/">standout performance at the PRZ CA Showcase</a> in January and is looking like an improved pass-rusher early into his senior season. He's an athletic rusher that brings some speed and quickness of the edge. He can beat slower-moving OTs off the ball with his first step and does a good job of coming off blocks to set the edge as a run defender. He could be more proactive with his initial punch at the POA but shows some flashes of counter-moves in his arsenal. Piercy picked up D-III offers from Bethel College and Kansas Wesleyan this month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PiercyGage/status/1964372602685968665","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PiercyGage/status/1964372602685968665 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gio Robles","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"205","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Imperial","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ca32d20af74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robles is putting together a breakout senior season with 461 yards and 7 TDs through four games. He's a long, rangy target at 6'5"/205 with great hands and high-level catch radius. He excels in 1v1 situations where he can use his body to box out smaller defenders and use his length to go up over the top. He's a strong, committed blocker, can make plays in the shallow areas, and presents unique matchup problems on the perimeter. Robles offers obvious upside worth taking a look at with the physical tools he brings to the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18604270/68b1bf8f450a3494d755f075' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ca32d20b1e3"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jackson Maggiore","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"La Costa Canyon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ca32d20b2d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maggiore is following up his breakout junior campaign with another strong showing early into his senior season. The 6'/180 wideout has recorded 310 receiving yards and 5 TDs on 14 catches through four games. He's a quick, explosive playmaker out of the slot that's a dangerous weapon with the ball in his hands and offers great upside in his vertical skillset. He's a skilled route-runner that's creative in his releases against press coverage, does a good job of disguising his breakpoints, and comes out of his breaks with burst and acceleration. Maggiore picked up his first pair of offers from Air Force and USD in the offseason and should continue to add to that list with his quality of play this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JacksonMaggiore/status/1965107990241157439","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JacksonMaggiore/status/1965107990241157439 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Enrique Armas","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Holtville","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ca32d20b3d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Armas is the current leading rusher in San Diego with 714 yards and 8 TDs through the first three games of the season. He's coming off a junior season in which he ran for 1,300 yards and 21 TDs and is well on pace to surpass those numbers as a senior. He's a tough, physical runner with a strong, stocky build at 5'8"/180 that allows him to bounce off tackles and rack up yards after contact. He shows his underrated agility in his jump cuts around the LOS and sees the field extremely well. He's scored 2+ TDs in each of Holtville's first three games and has two games with 250+ rushing yards for an average of 238 YPG. Armas is producing at an extremely high level and should see his recruiting exposure increase with the senior season he's putting together. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EnriqueArmas__/status/1965566327026057261","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EnriqueArmas__/status/1965566327026057261 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
